Without going into the weeds and all, given they all are in the same project, regardless…

You said “a gui for managing systemd”, so which part? Boot, udev, and journal? All three are required and not optional for systemd the OS infrastructure layer suite (or whatever it’s called these days), so minimally, assume that?

If so, what kind of sane gui could manage those three very disparate things?

Those are all things systemd manages… as well as logs, udev, etc etc.

What kind of gui too could you even imagine would sanely present all of that?

My point is there is no way to sanely create a GUI for something has it’s tendrils in… Everything. In fact, there’s no sane way to do any sort of UI for such a beast.

Its far too convoluted. A systemd gui for… DNS? Boot services? User Services? tmp file management? Everything?

Based on the docs, it should work with LDAP, but is focused on AD. I really only need it for initial create and whatnot, so I’m gonna give it a whirl, and hopefully, doesn’t let me down.

If not, I’ll need to git gud with go, and do some PR’s :)

oh… that look tits! Thank you!

A decent GUI LDAP client.

Yes, I know, I can use slapcat and all… But holy hell, I’m tired of writing basic LDAP files to populate a new domain. And, no, I really don’t want to spin up a webserver just to run a web based GUI that I NOW have to ensure is locked down.

We have Android and ChromeOS for those “just want an appliance” users.

The rest of the distros are for those with varying needs. Arch, Gentoo, for the full control folk. Debian for stability folk. Ubuntu for cloud. ELs for data centers.

Etc etc etc

I have yet to break anything doing release upgrades on Debian since… 7? Or 6?

I’m going out on a limb here, and guessing you have a high end video card that is causing probably 99% of your problems, likely an NVidia.

I’m using KDE on MXLinux on a old macbook, and I don’t have these graphical glitches you mention.

OneNote.

That’s really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee’s knees for knowledge management.

These aren’t printer drivers, but drivers for a Meson coax NIC that hasn’t been in business for a decade type of thing.

Really popular old drivers stay for a loong time, like the floppy driver that just got removed last year.

Nobody needing a modern kernel is using a floppy drive.

Zulip has been around for a loooong time. It integrates well with Jitsi, and is fully self-hostable.
